Warm, filling and just as versatile as regular oatmeal, this bowl of zucchini ‘oats’ will definitely hit the spot. Makes 1 serving. 3 Fiber Notes It is not critical to remove all moisture from zucchini, but if you want a thicker ‘oatmeal’ the less moisture the better. Add any ingredients or toppings you want to meet your macros - more cinnamon, PB2, chocolate chips, raisins.

Instructions

6. Place in a bowl and top with any desired toppings!
